- a child or an elderly person may find a conventional method overly complex and confusing and as a result, be deterred for utilizing a transferring function.
- professionally trained personnel may be able to perform a conventional method of transferring without much trouble, still, placing a customer on hold or even worse, terminating and initiating a new call to the customer to complete a transfer may be an undesirable form of conducting business.
- One embodiment introduces the idea of transferring a call to another nearby device on another line. Users will be able to transfer a call from or to their cell phone simply by placing the cell phone in close proximity to the phone from which they're transferring the call to or from, A sample scenario follows:
- Bob places the phone next to his office phone, gets a suggestion on his office phone to send the call to his cell phone, and accepts the suggestion.
- the call begins to ring on his cell phone and is immediately and seamlessly transferred to his cell phone without the other party noticing what happened (unless the voice quality on Bob's cell phone is noticeably worse than that on his office phone).
- the call begins to ring on his office phone.
- the call is immediately and seamlessly transferred to his office phone.
- One embodiment in which the method by which one phone recognizes dose proximity to another is through the use of infrared light as many computers do today. For example, one phone could send the other phone its number or request the number of the other phone using RCS code, a commonly used standard protocol for infrared data communication. Another option would be to use Bluetooth to request/respond and exchange numbers between the phones. The recipient phone would then perform a true transfer of the call to the phone number it received.
- RCS code a commonly used standard protocol for infrared data communication.
- Another option would be to use Bluetooth to request/respond and exchange numbers between the phones. The recipient phone would then perform a true transfer of the call to the phone number it received.
- Each phone sends a message to the other phone indicating that they are in dose proximity and proposing a transfer.
- This message also contains the phone number of the phone sending the message.
- the user on phone 1 can either ignore the proposal by doing nothing (it will go away in a matter of seconds) or accept it.
- a consult call is placed from phone 1 to phone 2.
- Phone 1 uses phone 2's number passed along in the message as the number to dial for the transfer.
- the original call on phone 1 remains as the active call, allowing the user to continue his conversation.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary method for transferring a communications exchange. Although specific steps are disclosed in flowchart 300, such steps ate exemplary. That is, embodiments are well suited to performing various other or additional steps or variations of the steps recited in flowchart 300.
